Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
FAM20A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FAM20A gene.[5]
FAM20A belongs to an evolutionarily conserved family of secreted proteins expressed in many tissues. This locus encodes a protein that is likely secreted and may function in hematopoiesis.[6]
Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
Clinical significance
[edit]
A mutation in FAM20A was reported to be associated with amelogenesis imperfecta, an inherited enamel defect, and gingival hyperplasia syndrome.[7]
Human mutations in FAM20A were also reported to cause Enamel-Renal Syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe enamel hypoplasia, failed tooth eruption, intrapulpal calcifications, enlarged gingiva, and nephrocalcinosis.[8]
